Sirloin Steak ib.*1.59 Teachers defended and chastised Dear Mr. Editor, I am a grade nine student at South Huron District High School and my letter to you concerns the strike by teachers and the sub­ sequent lockout by the board in Huron County. From my point of view, after surveying the situation, I think the board left the teachers no alternative but to strike. However I think the teachers should have at­ tempted to obtain support from the public by informing them as to their stand. I, for one, know of people, who when asked of their feelings on the issue would reply that they thought that the teachers were already sufficiently paid. Surely this shows how poorly informed the public was of the dispute. Furthermore, I don’t understand the board’s stand that the battle was over who would control the classroom. In my mind education would be greatly benefited if class sizes were restricted. This would allow teachers to give students more individual attention. I think the statement by Mr. Cayley Hill, a member of the board’s negotiating team, to the effect that he thought bringing in a third party would not help mat­ ters, is utter nonsense. A third party could see and decide the issue without bias. The students and teachers could then return to the classroom and resume the business of education. When this strike began I, and, no doubt, many others were quite happy for a holiday. However the novelty soon wore off and was replaced by a concern for the work and extra­ curricular activities at school. A strike in industry hurts the company but a strike by teachers doesn’t really hurt the board. In such a strike the students suffer the most. In most cases in this day and age a strike seems outdated and rather stupid. The teachers lose pay and the respect of their students but most important the is depressing them so. They student loses his education. In my mind teachers should not be allowed to strike and the strike, should instead, be replaced by compulsory arbitration which would take place after all types of negotiation had failed. Inevitably, this happens after a strike anyway. Manwhile. until the government steps in or the teachers and the board agree to arbitration we the students continue to suffer. Yours sincerely, Matthew McClure P.S. This letter took me two drafts to get theEnglish composition and typing into presentable form. If I had been in school the last 21 days one draft likely would have been sufficient. really are disillusioned. Most of them that I have contact with are not on the teachers’ side of this dispute. They can’t understand why you can’t all be fired. The majority of the taxpayers are in the private sector and would never, never get away with your actions without being out on their ear. I think we, the taxpayers, should have made our thoughts known to you all, long before this. Will you please realize that the school Board has the backing of every parent that I have had contact with and that is many! Maybe it would do you all some good to get out and compete for jobs you would have to where work harder, longer and get less pay and privileges. A very concerned parent B. U. May ¥ * * Dear Mr. Batten: “Heart Month” in Canada is now over and on behalf of the Canadian Heart Fund, Ontario Division, please accept our heartfelt thanks for your support during our financial campaign. Our objective this year was $5 million and although all returns are not in, we are quite hopeful that our ob­ jective will be attained. Without your willing co­ operation in communicating our needs to the public, the Canadian Heart Fund would not be able to express such an outlook. April 1978 has been declared “World High Blood Pressure Month” by the World Health Organization in co-operation with the International Society and Federation of Cardiology. The theme for this in­ ternational project is “Down With High Blood Pressure”. At the end of March, we will’ supply you with an educational media kit on high blood pressure and we hope you will make ex­ tensive use of the material. Thank you again, for your past support — as always it is truly appreciated. With best wishes. Yours very truly, Canadian Heart Foundation Ontario Division Esther M.

It used to be an evening on the town, albeit not a wild one, but a couple of drinks, a show and something to eat. Now it’s an average-sized tip after a meal. That’s what happens when you win a couple of wars and lose an empire. But it isn’t the money that bothers me about making a trip. It’s the Old Lady. First of all, she can pack so much stuff into a suitcase that it takes art adult male gorilla to lift the thing. That’s why I came home from our last trip with my arms stretched to down around my knees. Second of all, she is somewhat of an insomniac. Hot milk, nightcap, sleep­ ing pills, you name it and her system shrugs it" off as you or I would a lifesaver. That’s at home. Imagine what she’s like when we’re on the move constantly, sleeping in strange beds every night, eating strange food, getting excited at new sights and sounds and people. She knocks off one to two hours a night and the rest of the time is an advanced case of somnambulism. Why am I so selfish then, you may well ask. Why do I drag her off to foreign fields, where she’ll be lucky if she sits down on the edge of a fountain and people don’t think she’s a statue? Because she won’t let me go alone. Many a time I’ve offered. “Why don’t you just stay home, dear, and have a nice, quiet time around the house? I’ll send you a card every day, and I’ll be back in only six weeks, before you know it.” She doesn’t trust me, even when I tell her it’s the ladies, not the men, who get pinched in Rome. So that’s why I’m saving quarters in the cookie jar and refurbishing my once-fluent French, German and Italian. “Arrivederci, Mademoiselle, was maken sie hier? Nix offnen der tor bevor der zug halte. Aver-vous des bluejinsi? Mein epouse nich schlaffen prima.” Expect there’ll be no problems when you can handle the lingo like that. tai & Mrs. Stephen Dennis Heather r POLARIS I I I I| DEALERSHIP i I A - .-IOpportunity NOW’S THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT NEXT SEASON Now’s the time to think about Polaris, the No. 1 snowmobile line.

It could save you a lot of money and time and help your home town. DID YOU EVER DRIVE 50 to 100 miles or more to take advantage of a super-duper special? A local $50 item 50 miles away would have to sell for $33 in order tor you to break even. THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION certifies that 16.5 cents is what it costs to drive your car one mile. So if you've driven 100 miles round trip to pick up that special, you'll have to add $16 to that purchase. That sweet buy can suddenly turn quite sour. AND EACH 100 MILES takes from 6 to 10 gallons of gasoline which the potential shortage of oil-derived fuels would encourage us to save.
